From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonz...@redhat.com> It is not necessary to mention which side is sending/receiving each payload; it is more interesting to say which is the request and which is the reply. This also matches what vhost-user-gpu.rst already does.
While at it, ensure that all messages list both the request and the reply payload.
